Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01071 | $0.01071 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00428 | $0.00428 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00214 | $0.00214 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00107 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
memory-five-layers scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

memory-five-layers is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Defiladeboarfish90/agent-memory (2 stars, last pushed 6d ago), with no licence file. It adds 1,071 tokens to every session, about $0.0043 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
Other cursor rules, from other repositories
agent-severance
Offboard an AI agent the way you'd offboard an employee — inventory what it knew and touched, export then purge its memory, revoke every credential and access grant, and write the handover for its successor (human or agent). Use when decommissioning an agent or bot, switching agent vendors, ending an AI pilot, or when…
context-bankruptcy
Declare bankruptcy on a long-lived AI agent's accumulated memory — audit what it currently believes, separate ground truth from stale and wrong, purge deliberately, restate the truths that survive, and log what was lost. Use when an agent keeps acting on outdated facts, contradicts itself across sessions, 'remembers'…
context-engineering-review
Review what an LLM feature or agent actually puts in its context window — and find what's bloating, missing, or fighting itself. Use when asked to review a system prompt and context assembly, cut token usage without losing quality, debug an agent that ignores instructions, or audit how retrieval results, history, and…
memory-file-maintenance
Keep your AI memory/context file (MEMORY.md, CLAUDE.md, custom instructions) healthy over time — pruning the stale, adding the new, and keeping it sharp so your AI keeps getting you right. Use when asked review my memory file, my AI context is outdated, clean up my CLAUDE.md, or maintain my AI instructions. Produces a…
error-log
Apply when learning from a mistake. Central memory of past errors and derived rules; consult before logging a new error to avoid duplicates.
emergency-fund
Size an emergency fund from essential spend and real risk factors — not a one-size 'six months' — with the funding timeline and where the money should sit. Use when asked how big should my emergency fund be, do I have enough saved, emergency fund or invest, or how many months of expenses do I need. Produces the…
